シャドーイング練習: Stop Saying This When You Introduce Yourself (A1-B2) - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ

Welcome back to a new video guys.

Today you'll be learning how to introduce yourself in English.

This is not just listening, this is also speaking practice.

I will ask you a question and you answer out loud.

If you need more time, pause the video.

Then Leon answers like he is you and you compare.

Hi everyone.

By the end of this video you will be able to introduce yourself three ways.

A short introduction for quick situations, a normal introduction for new friends,

and a more professional introduction for school or work.

And most importantly you'll know what to say next time to keep the conversation going.

No awkward ending.

Exactly.

Let's get started.

Here is a simple formula greeting name from what you do one extra detail

and nice to meet you i'll say it again slow

and clear greeting name from what you do one extra detail nice to meet you

if you can do this you can introduce yourself almost anywhere.

Step one, greeting.

You can say hi, hey or hello.

Now it's your turn.

Say one greeting.

If you need more time pause the video and then answer.

Hi.

Perfect.

If you want to get my 3000 most common English words

and examples organized by Sefer level and topic, then check out the link in my description to get it.

Step two, name.

You can say, my name is Volka or I'm Volka.

Be sure to use your own name and not my name.

Your turn.

Say your name and pause if you want.

I'm Leon.

Perfect.

Step three, where you're from.

You can say, I'm from Canada.

Your turn.

Where are you from?

I'm from Canada.

Good job.

Be sure to say which country you are from.

Step four, what you do.

You can say I'm a student or I'm a teacher or I work in a restaurant.

Your turn.

What do you do?

I'm a student.

Good job.

Step five, one extra detail, one short sentence.

Here are some easy options.

I'm learning English.

I love movies.

I like coffee.

I'm here on vacation.

Your turn.

Choose one extra detail.

I'm learning English.

Perfect.

The final step, step six.

Nice to meet you.

Your turn.

Say it and pause if you want.

Nice to meet you.

So that is a full introduction.

Now listen to a full introduction.

Hi, I'm Volka.

I'm from Canada.

I'm a teacher.

I like snowboarding.

Nice to meet you.

Now you do your version.

Speak out loud and pause if you want.

Hi, I'm Leon.

I'm from Canada.

I'm a student and I'm learning English.

Nice to meet you.

Perfect.

That sounded clean and natural.

Now I'll give you three versions.

Easy, normal, and professional.

Easy version.

Nice to meet you.

Your turn.

Easy version.

Perfect.

Now time for the normal version.

111

Some of my hobbies include snowboarding, hiking and traveling.

Now we practice what happens after you say hello.

I ask, you answer.

122

Pause if you need to and then Leon answers.

123

124

My name is Leon.

125

You can also say I'm Leon.

126

129

but I live in Australia, but I live in South Korea.

130

What do you do?

147

Don't say I am Volca every time.

148

149

My name is.

150

To sound more natural, you can kind of blend it together and say my name is, my name is, instead of my name is.

Here's how to sound more fluent without harder vocabulary.

227

You keep the same structure but add small details.

228

There are three versions, the 10 second, the 20 second, and the 30 second version.

229

Let's get started.

230

10 seconds.

231

241

30 seconds.

242

243

244

I teach English online and I love to travel.

245

I'm learning Spanish right now.

246

Nice to meet you.

247

Now you try.

248

Do the 10 second version first.

249

Hi, I'm Leon.

250

I'm from Canada.

251

I'm a student.

252

It's nice to meet you.

253

254

Now the 20-second version.

255

Hi, I'm Leon.

256

I'm from Canada.

257

I'm a student, I study business, and it's nice to meet you.

258

Now the 30-second version.

259

Add two details.

260

Hi, I'm Leon.

261

I'm from Canada.

262

I'm a student.

263

I study business and I like sports.

264

I'm learning English every day.

265

It's nice to meet you.

266

Perfect.

267

It's nice to meet you too.

268

So it's the same structure, but you just add one more detail every time.

269

Now it's time for a mini listening quiz.

270

Are you ready?

271

So I'm going to say an introduction and you tell me what the person's job is.

272

Hello, my name is Giselle.

273

287

He's a student.

288

Correct.

289

So he doesn't have a job.

290

He is a student.

291

A quick recap.

292

Greeting, name, where you're from, what you do.

293

One extra detail.

294

Nice to meet you.

295

Here is a practice plan for the next seven days.

296

Day one, I want you to master the 10 second version.

297

That is the simplest version of an introduction.

298

Day two, I want you to add one detail and practice the 20 second version.

299

Day three, I want you to practice the 30 second version and add two details.

300

After that, I want you to add one detail every day and really try to focus on your pronunciation.

301

Be sure to record yourself with your camera so you can track your progress.

302

Same structure every day.

303

Exactly.

304

If you guys want more practice, write your introduction in the comments and I will tell you if you did good or if you need some improvement.

305

Name, country, job or student and one thing you like.

306

See you guys in the next natural and clear English podcast.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
